Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) Overview

What is Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS)?

Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) makes it easy to set up, operate, and scale a relational database in the cloud. It provides cost-efficient and resizable capacity while managing time-consuming database administration tasks such as hardware provisioning, database setup, patching and backups. It frees you up to focus on your apps so you can give them the better performance, availability, security, and compatibility they need. Amazon RDS is available on 6 familiar database instances: Amazon Aurora, MySQL, PostgreSQL, MariaDB, Oracle Database and SQL Server engines. This means that the code, applications, and tools you already use today with your existing databases can be used with Amazon RDS. Amazon RDS automatically patches the database software and backs up your database, storing the backups for a user-defined retention period and enabling point-in-time recovery. You benefit from the flexibility of being able to scale the compute resources or storage capacity associated with your relational database instance via a single API call. In addition, Amazon RDS makes it easy to use replication to enhance availability and reliability for production databases. Amazon RDS for MySQL also enables you to scale out beyond the capacity of a single database deployment for read-heavy database workloads. As with all Amazon Web Services, there are no up-front investments required, and you pay only for the resources you use.

What do you like best about Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS)?

A feature which i think differentiates Amazon RDS from it's competitors is the Multi-AZ Deployment which ensures high availability and data durability by automated replication of database instances across multiple availability zones within an AWS region. Also automatic failovers, backups and snapshots as well as a simplified disaster recovery ensures minimal downtime and high availability, especially in a financial environment where I am from, it is critical. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS)?

Limited customization and control over the database environment is a deterrence. There's restricted access to underlying OS and DB configs where this restriction is an issue when trying to conduct testing of proof of concepts or use cases that require fine tuning configs.
